World Cup 2010 News

So Zak made a decision to go two tiers down? Didn’t Millwall get relegated to League 1?

I’m not sure what to make of this post.

Is it GOOD that he is returning to a Division 2 team with terribkle form?

Or is it GOOD that he is playing in England for Milwall and not riding the bench for Liverpool?

Or is it:” Hey look another Yank playing in Europe!” Seems you should post a whole thread on that alone…

Glass half full:
Hey, at least we didn’t lose 4-Nil like Ukraine – we’re no longer in last place!!!!

No great loss to the Reds then !

I stand with my prediction that with the big failure of the US team in this tournament after losing the next 2 matches they will end in the bottom 5, this embarrasment will launch the demise and disintegration of the mediocre and 2nd class MSL league, I doubt professional soccer will continue pass 2008 at the most in the land of the free and the home of landon donovan [and his ego].

2006 FIFA World Cup INTERVIEW – David and Renate Jakupca, American Cultural Ambassadors from the International center for Environmental Arts interviews with Klaus Toepfer, the “Green Goal” Ambassador for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Tournament.

Cleveland, Ohio (ICEAnews) June 9th, 2006 – All national teams will use trains, as well as planes, to travel around the country, solar panels will adorn stadium roofs, rain water is being harvested and beverages will be sold in reusable cups.
But far from being some sort of utopia for tree-lovers, the measures are a reflection of attitudes in a country with a history of tackling green issues imminating from EXPO2000, the Worlds Fair held in Hannover, Germany.
Renate Jakupca, American Cultural Ambassador from the US Network for EXPO2000 interviews with Klaus Toepfer, the “Green Goal” Ambassador for the Tournament.
“The World Cup is a great chance to put a focus on the environment around the world and will hopefully raise awareness everywhere,” Klaus Toepfer. “Our aim is to offset the total CO2 emissions caused by the World Cup in Germany also through promoting public transport during the event,” said Toepfer, until last month the executive director of the United Nations Environmental Program.
“We also know big sport events create an avalanche of waste. We explored: How to reduce that? How to recycle? Awareness is rising. This is the first time for a football World Cup after we had quite successful endeavors at the Olympics since Sydney.”
The “Green Goal” was launched last year with the aim of offsetting the estimated 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide generated within Germany by transportation, construction of the stadiums and the presence of an expected 3.2 million spectators.
All ticket holders, for instance, can ride public transport for free on match days, thousands of accredited journalists will receive free month-long rail passes for the country’s train network and stadium drinks will be sold in reusable “Cups of the Cup”.
“It’s wonderful to send the signal you can get to the match much better without your car,” said Toepfer, a driving force behind the “Green Goal.”
“The greening of the World Cup is not a little project on the margins, but at the heart of a lot of interest around the world,” said Toepfer. “It’s a first but only a beginning.”
Toepfer, a former German environment minister before leading the UN agency, acknowledged that soccer fans have not historically been noted for special interest in the environment.

RAISE AWARENESS
“Indeed that was one of the positive soft by-products of this project,” he said. “It’s a bonus to raise awareness. Fans of Chelsea or Real Madrid might think twice about their behavior later on if they know the consequences on the environment.”
Toepfer said whether the targets were met will be examined after wards. He said he was delighted the “Green Goal” was also being embraced by World Cup countries and pleased that Euro2008 in Austria and Switzerland also want to adopt it.
“Costa Rica just arrived here and they decided they would offset their CO2 emissions for the flight to Germany and back and invest money in forests as part of a national project. “It would be great if all nations coming here could do the same.”
